The Warrior Storyfield team is collaborating with Katie Temme of Purple Mountain Pictures as she embarks on creating a documentary about the Storyfield experience.
Financing a documentary is never easy, but we believe it is essential to help us find a permanent home for the Warrior Storyfield sculptures.
The filming project is stimulating a new level of community involvement. That alone makes the film worth doing. We know the more we tell our story, the more people we reach.
Any contribution, big or small, is appreciated. Your donation will help pay for the research, production team and equipment, editing and post production and the many other costs in between.
Donate towards funding the documentary
For 15 years the Warrior StoryField has been a place of doing, gathering, imagining, creating and expressing. Every one of us has volunteered our time and energy to build two massive sculptures that will now move to our permanent sanctuary where veterans and civilians can gather in conversation.
Our exploration of the WHAT, the WHY and the HOW of building a community and creating the sculptures and the space in between is coming to fruition.
We now have a permanent home in Boulder County near our current space. It will allow us to place the sculptures and give them the honor they deserve, and use them to anchor our expansion of our work and our mission.
To do this vital work, we will be planning, modifying and constructing the sculpture area, for private and community use. We will be adapting the adjacent buildings to expand our arts activities and gathering places.
We ask you to make a donation today. We appreciate your generosity.
Our mission is to build and create a sanctuary, a sacred environment, where veterans can share their stories of going to war, service, and the experience of coming home. To speak the unspoken, to speak the unspeakable.
Through the expression of art, the StoryField provides a bridge between the Warrior experience and the civilian community to honor those who served, those living, and their journey of returning. It is a sacred space where non-veterans can come to listen, learn, and share their journey.
There is a divide between those who served in the military and those who have not. The men and women who went to war are not the men and women who return. They are forever changed by their experience. Those of us who have not experienced war struggle to understand the challenges facing our returning warriors whose wounds are both seen and unseen.
Where can veterans go to be heard and appreciated by the community they protected? Where can civilians go to hear these stories so they can carry their share of the burden of war?
We have seen that a team of veterans and civilians collaborating on a large work of art stimulates community dialogue and serves as a powerful conduit for the voice of veterans, their families and their community.
